His reign is noted for both his initial faithfulness to God and his later apostasy. The lineage of Amaziah is significant as it traces back to David, maintaining the Davidic line that is central to the messianic prophecies. His reign is documented in both 2 Chronicles and 2 Kings, providing a comprehensive view of his leadership and its impact on Judah.<p><b>lived for fifteen years</b><br>The fifteen-year period after the death of Jehoash marks a time of relative stability for Amaziah, though it was not without challenges. This duration is significant as it reflects a period of reflection and potential repentance after his military defeat by Jehoash. The number fifteen in biblical numerology can symbolize rest after deliverance, though Amaziah's reign was marked by unrest due to his idolatry.<p><b>after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel</b><br>Jehoash, also known as Joash, was the king of Israel who defeated Amaziah in battle, capturing him and plundering Jerusalem. His death marks a turning point for Amaziah, as it ended the immediate threat from the northern kingdom. The relationship between the kingdoms of Israel and Judah during this time was complex, often marked by conflict and uneasy alliances. Jehoash's reign is also noted for his partial restoration of Israel's fortunes against Aram, as prophesied by Elisha. The interactions between Amaziah and Jehoash highlight the divided nature of the Israelite monarchy and the consequences of turning away from God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/amaziah.htm">Amaziah</a></b><br>King of Judah, son of Joash.
